106.The Lost Land (3000)
If it's just running away from home, this is Tamagawa Asaka's own family's family affair.
Aono couldn't help even if he wanted to.
But the problem is that after that, Tamagawa Asaka was still able to find out where Tamagawa Rin's whereabouts were at first.
She is the heir to such a consortium, where she spends, how much she spends on her credit cards, where she travels, where she stays - in this day and age, as long as identity verification is required, it will inevitably leave traces.
If you have the heart, it is not difficult for Tamagawa Asaka to know information related to her daughter.
But just a week ago, these traces related to Tamagawa Rin, as if suddenly erased by a hand, disappeared without a trace.
And this is by no means Rin's own handiwork, even if it is her, there is no way to eliminate all traces.
Not to mention the sudden disappearance like this - there were all kinds of whereabouts one day before, and all of them disappeared the next day.
Tamagawa Asaka is still in the stage of being angry with her daughter, and she didn't want to pay attention to it.
I just thought that my daughter was secretly hiding somewhere, and I wanted to make her worry and be afraid!
- Rin Tamagawa really did this kind of thing when he was a child, and he secretly hid and deliberately tried to attract his mother's attention, which was a prank of a very bad nature.
On the contrary, Natsuko Hoshino was keenly aware that the situation was not right.
Only then did he pull Tamagawa Asaka to the door.
After Aono listened, he touched his chin and thought for a moment.
"Aono-kun, it's okay, it's okay to leave this matter alone."
Tamagawa Asaka said very toughly.
"If she doesn't come back, she won't come back!"
It's this tone, completely angry with children and parents, "Hmph! I don't want to pay attention to you anymore! "I'm not playing with you anymore!" It's exactly the same!
Even Kanda Yukie can clearly see this.
Natsuko Hoshino approached Aono and attached her ear canal.
"Actually, Xiao Rin also left a letter to Asaka before leaving, which apologized to her, but Xiao Rin still couldn't accept this reality, so she wanted to go out for a walk."
"It's just that Asaka thinks that such an apology is too perfunctory, so she wants to wait for Xiao Rin to apologize to her in person."
"That's why it's been awkward."
Aono almost understood the situation, but asked strangely.
"I think you guys misunderstood something, right?"
"I don't have any expertise in finding people."
Aono felt that he needed to explain that he had some abilities that ordinary people didn't have, but he wasn't good at finding things and people.
His meaning is very clear - there is nothing wrong with asking me to help fight, this kind of thing is looking for me, I'm afraid it's not the wrong person, right?
In this kind of missing case, it is more reliable to find the police, right?
"No, we"
Natsuko Hoshino was about to explain, but she saw Kanda Yukie on the side and hesitated for a moment.
On the one hand, she is afraid that her relationship with Aono is not close enough, and on the other hand, what she says next should not be something that ordinary people should be exposed to.
It's as strong as Qingye, who is blind at this time, and if ordinary people are involved, what awaits them will only be death.
"It's okay, she's one of our kind."
Aono was calm.
also followed Ida Ryoma's advice and hid the words "transcendental".
"She turned out to be too"
Hoshino Natsuko's eyes widened slightly, and she carefully observed Kanda Yukie, and paid more attention to her for the first time.
Only then did I realize that her body was abnormally cold, and there was an ominous aura.
Able to confirm this.
And Kanda Yukie's reaction is not much different from her.
Aono's voice was not deliberately lowered, and the girl naturally understood what he meant.
It turns out that these two are also people with unusual abilities?
It's just that what will their extraordinary abilities be?
Kanda Yukie couldn't help but have a curious thought.
But the more I look at Natsuko Hoshino's face, in addition to thinking it's good-looking, there's nothing special about it?
Wait, it's good-looking?
Kanda Yukie once again set her eyes on Natsuko Hoshino, and couldn't take her off her eyes for a short time, just wanting to be close to her, and if she opened her mouth to give an order, maybe she would subconsciously obey.
"Little girl, it's not a polite thing to spy on other people's secrets~"
Natsuko Hoshino smiled at the girl like a cunning fox.
So she came back to her senses and her heart jumped suddenly.
'What a capability! ’
Kanda Yukie turned her head and looked at Tamagawa Asaka seriously, since this store manager's ability is not ordinary, I think you are not as simple as it seems on the surface, right?
"Oh, Yuki-e-chan, do you want to see what I'm capable of?"
Tamagawa Asaka and Kanda Yukie looked at each other with inexplicable pride.
"My ability is also very powerful!"
I only see the girl's heart is serious - it seems, it is a great ability!
In an instant, Tamagawa Asaka underwent earth-shaking changes.
"Boom!"
A snow-white fox appeared in front of Kanda Yukie, with his head held high and full of spirit.
It also made a very strange noise!
Kanda Yuki-e "? ”
As soon as Aono stretched out his hand, the white-haired fox jumped on his knees all of a sudden, fell honestly into his arms, and let him touch his head and waist, and his snow-white tail swayed, comfortable and relaxed, which only made Hoshino Natsuko want to complain - it's your daughter who is missing and not my daughter! You're going to have a snack!
Kanda Snow Painting" ??? ”
Why are you so skilled?
"So, go ahead."
Ignoring the girl who fell into shock, Aono said to Natsuko Hoshino.
"Aono-kun, have you heard of the Lost Lands?"
"Huh? Lost Lands? ”
Aono shook his head, the name he had heard for the first time.
"Or it is called the lost world, the lost secret realm, in short, there are many names, but the most widely circulated should be this."
Natsuko Hoshino said slowly, with a serious expression.
"It's not a secret among people like us, but if you don't ask, they won't bring it up."
"I also recently heard about it from a friend, so I didn't warn you before I went to that party."
She explained, avoiding unnecessary misunderstandings.
"The Lost Land?"
Kanda Yukie, who listened with her ears pricked up, tilted her head, and she seemed to have a slight impression.
"I've heard it from Miss Hino."
"Rumiko Hino? It seems that you have joined the official organization, little girl."
"Aono-kun, you should know that the world we live in is not as simple as it seems."
Natsuko Hoshino paused slightly.
She hadn't been very willing to know this information before, but who had let this fall on Rin Tamagawa?
In the case of asking for help, learn about this information in passing.
"Some people call the world we can see with the naked eye the surface world, and the place where those monsters live is the inner world."
"If we talk about it too much, we will attract the attention of the inner world, and in some cases, it will break through the protection of the outer world and come to us."
Aono nodded.
He hadn't heard it before, but it was roughly summed up.
It's not too far from that.
The key is information about the Lost Lands.
He had never known about it before.
"It was Mr. Ida who said that the lost place is a space between the world of the surface and the world of the inside."
"As for why this space is created, I don't know."
"But it has a special meaning for people like us."
When Aono heard this description, he thought it was a different dimensional world created by the god of a thousand eyes, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt different.
The space inside the shrine is more like a pustule parasitic on the surface world, constantly absorbing the nutrients of the surface world to expand itself.
It has not reached the point of being a world of its own.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Aono nodded again, waiting for Natsuko Hoshino's next words.
"If you use it too many times, you can hide in the lost place when you might be watched by them."
"Stay in a safe place and live for a while."
"When their gaze shifts, they can come out again."
"Mr. Ida, it's been three times since you entered the Lost Land."
Hearing Natsuko Hoshino say this, Aono instantly understood a lot.
The vast majority of transcendents do not have the ability to face the unspeakable like Aono and even confront the unspeakable head-on.
But weak creatures also have their own ways of survival.
Since you can't afford to provoke it, can't you still hide it?
The existence of this lost place is undoubtedly the gospel of the vast number of vulnerable transcendents, who can escape at a critical moment.
No wonder I felt that the aura on Ida Ryoma's body was a little special at that time, and I am afraid that it also had the influence of the Lost Land.
But again, Aono doesn't believe that such a shelter has no price.
As you can tell from its name.
The Lost Lands.
It's probably a place to get lost
"Officials have this kind of information, and they have to dig deeper into the Lost Lands, so it will be safer."
Speaking of this, Natsuko Hoshino glanced at Yuki Aida with a little envy.
Official, this one word.
Sometimes, it can still give people a sense of security.
Aono thought that Kanda Yukie was not so shy about using supernatural abilities, which proved the authenticity of Hoshino Natsuko's words in disguise.
"So Tamagawa Rin, in the Lost Land?"
Digesting the newly acquired information for a moment, Aono asked.
"Actually, it's not entirely certain."
Natsuko Hoshino hesitated, "But judging from this situation, there is a high probability that this is the case. ”
"Maybe I'm hiding somewhere, and I don't want to come back! The Lost Land is not so easy to enter, it must be Natsuko who thinks too much! ”
The white-haired fox in Aono's arms suddenly shouted.
"I really can't be sure, I just think, Aono-kun, you might try to go to the Lost World once."
"If you can, can you be a little more careful?"
"Aono-kun, please!"
Natsuko Hoshino bowed deeply to Aono.
